The Mysterious Son-In-Law Planned A Ball
"Mr Apollo, can I get you anything? Water? A drink?" The Mayor said hurriedly and then saw his secretary still waiting by the door.Immediately his gaze turned cold as he sneered at her"Are you deaf?! What are you still doing here?" He yelled.Instantly the lady rushed out. Her boss was an audacious man who seemed to not take instructions or listen to anything anyone had to say. To see him act so humbly in the presence of the mysterious man, the young lady could only wonder who the man was.She instantly bowed and was about to rush out when Dennis's voice echoed in the room"Coffee black," he said"You heard him" the mayor said snarling at his secretaryAt that point, Dennis wore an inexpressive look and gazed at the man,"Right…the Wilson home documents" the man said sharply, stood up, rushed to his drawer and searched for a file amongst the stack.A few moments later, he pulled out one and gazed at it under the illumination of the fluorescent light to confirm that it was the right
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Stay Out of It
Lord Duncan's words reassured Dennis of his plans for revenge. After a while, Dennis got up to leave, but as he reached the door, he stopped and turned.He was about to ask the old Lord about the Russian man he met the other day and what his business is with him, but then ultimately decided against using a direct approach.Slowly, he marched back to the chair, sat down and heaved a sigh gazing at the pool.He already knew the answer to the question he was about to ask the old Lord, but still, he needed to be certain."Beautiful isn't it?" The old Lord asked as he turned his gaze and saw Dennis,"Quite","Are you having second thoughts?" Lord Duncan asked with an air of curiosity.The breeze sifted through his hair and gave his skin a soothing calmness. Lord Duncan glanced at him and chuckled slightly"I thought you wouldn't want to go through with it," he said disappointedly "No matter. I guess I'll just keep the company then" he added"That's not why I'm back" Dennis replied confid
The Mysterious Son-In-Law An Emerald Gift
Dennis walked out of the office excited for his evening.He gave Lord Duncan some time alone to think, hoping that he would know how to choose and make the right decisionExposing his nephew's fraudulent acts at the hospital was just a petty decision. Dennis partly could not stand Mark going unpunished for framing Owen. On the other hand, he thought if he could get Mark reprimanded, that would relieve Kuza, and maybe even go as far as to impress her if she found out who was responsible for it. Dennis's footsteps remained steady as he walked away without looking back.He bumped into Yura at the front door who had stared at him intently the whole time as he approached her, with a malicious gaze.Dennis noticed her leaning against the door with her arms crossed above her chest. "I'd like a moment with you Mr Apollo" Yura said and pushed off against the door, following Dennis outside "I heard you're having dinner tonight at Somerville. Quite a fancy hotel"Immediately Yura said this,
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Bow Before Me
Joanne stared at Dennis keenly and decided to call his bluff.However, Dennis decided to level the playing field and introduce a dare, before handing her the premium card"If…" he said sharply holding up the card "This card goes through, and I pay for the emerald necklace, you're going to have to bow and apologize to me", he said boldly.Joanne looked at the crowd that had formed around them and laughed. She couldn't believe how someone as low as Dennis could be so pompous. She knew for certain that there was no risk in the dare as Dennis could not possibly have such an amount.Still, she wanted to propose her conditions too,"And when your card has been declined, you will have to mop and clean this store every day for a month", she stated with a snobbish lookDennis pondered on her set conditions for a while to give the illusion that he lacked confidence in his account and then said "Okay", before swiping the card on the table Reluctantly, Joanne reached forward and carried the b
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Internet Sensation
The driver hurriedly drove off as Dennis entered the car. There was a crowd of people with their phones still aimed at him, trying to capture a clearer image of his face.At this point, the internet was blowing up with several pictures of him although none of them highlighted his face or features. Some were calling him "The powerful elite" while others wrote about "The mysterious new owner of the Fallazo Jewelry store" engaging others to help find out his identity."What was that about sir?" The driver asked"Are you in some kind of trouble? Did you steal or do anything wrong in there cause I don't harbor fugitives and don't want any problem with the police", The scared Lyft driver let his thoughts run wild.Dennis again let out a frustrated groan. How could people judge others so easily without knowing who they were? His face cringed in annoyance and he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the driver's services in the tone of his voice."I did not do anything wrong. You can
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Arrival
Dennis hurried down to his front porch. When he saw Kuza, his heart fluttered at her sight. Wearing a black maxi dress which displayed her beautiful curves, Kuza had let her hair flow gracefully over her back with a light blush makeup to accent her looks, and Dennis was stunned.Slowly, he started to approach her, his heart racing the closer he got to her and then he stopped in front of her."You're…you're beautiful" he uttered compulsivelyKuza lowered her head blushing at his comments, and then slowly lifted it and said "Thank you. You clean up nice too yourself", she said teasingly "Shall we?", she added quickly, motioning her hand to the car."Alright. Give me the keys, I'm driving" Dennis said sharply with an authoritative tone"Oh quite the gentleman tonight, are we?" Kuza teased further with a wry smile. She didn't know what had changed to make Dennis suddenly seem so wholehearted and nice, but she was happy about it and looked forward even more to their night.Dennis walked
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Dinner
"Ms Kuza?" Dennis asked, a little surprised by the earlier event.Kuza shot him a wry smile and said "Guess you're not the only one with a little mystery Mr Apollo" she said as they reached the elevator.She pressed the open button and walked in. Still seeing the questioning look on Dennis's face, she said"My uncle's the concierge" "Really?" Dennis asked in shockThis wasn't his first time in Somerville, when he was younger his mother would often bring him to the hotel. He'd stay in the lobby while she had her meetings with some of her business colleagues.However, never on any of those occasions did he get to meet the owner of the building.The only thing Dennis heard about him was that he was one of the first families to settle in New York.At this point, Dennis felt slightly confused. He found it hard to believe that Kuza's family was related to the owner of the hotel.The first thing that popped into his head when he thought about Kuza was always about how she was Elder Akio's
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Aborgonals
Dennis scowled at Rico, stood up hurriedly and immediately the man's bodyguards approached himKuza instantly began to panic upon seeing Rico's bodyguards. She shifted closer to Dennis in fear."Relax Mr Apollo," Rico said calmly, shifting his gaze towards Kuza and then back to Dennis,"You're scaring the lady", he added on keen observation, scanning Kuza with a wry smile.He brought out the champagne bottle and one of his bodyguards walked forward and opened it for him, pouring him a glass.There was a trace of rage in Dennis's eyes as he watched the man swirl the glass of champagne and perceive it elegantly before taking a sip."Ahhh, nothing beats good wine," he said and gestured towards Dennis "Care for a glass?", "No? Okay","What do you want?" Dennis said angrily, glaring at him coldly"Tsk tsk. What do I want?", Rico repeated the question, curled his lips into a cocky smile and asked"What do you think I want Mr Apollo?", "What would a man who already has everything want?", he

Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?" He sne

Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis.

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

Dennis felt slightly dejected staring at Jon's corpse on the ground. The last few minutes seemed like a blur with a vague recollection of what had happenedHesitantly, he moved closer to Jon's body and noticed a sharp piercing through his head. Dennis raised his hands and searched for any weapons he could have used to do thisAt this point, his heart strangely felt heavy. He knew he had killed Jon, but why was he suddenly feeling remorse for him?Just as he sighed, disheartened, his phone suddenly rang and Dennis retrieved the phone from his pocket to see that it was from DeshaunDennis didn't want to pick up the call as he stared at Deshaun's name on the screen. He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you

There was no need to endanger her lifeWithout any arguments, Sandra did as she was instructed and got into a can heading back to her apartmentAs soon as Dennis parked the car, a call entered his phone immediately. Glancing at Deshaun, he hesitantly answered it"Hello nephew", Jon's deep voice sounded over the microphone"I heard you've been looking for me", he said teasinglyA deep wrinkled frown immediately formed on Dennis's forehead as he spoke "What do you want you old bastard?",Jon chuckled as he asked him in a mysterious manner "Isn't it obvious at this point, I'm not here to negotiate anything with you. I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now.
